About this position

Umeå University in Sweden is advertising a postdoctoral scholarship in discrete mathematics within the project “Bounds for Pancake Sorting and Analysis of the Pancake Graph”. The work is based in the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics and will be carried out in close collaboration with Associate Professor Gerold Jäger and the Discrete Mathematics group.

The project focuses on pancake sorting, a classic problem in combinatorial optimization and graph theory. Research topics include lower and upper bounds for the burnt and unburnt versions of the problem, as well as analysis of the corresponding pancake graph. The exact research questions will be shaped by the selected candidate’s interests and expertise.

This is a one-year, tax-free scholarship worth 375,000 SEK, funded and administered by the Kempe Foundation. A possible extension may be available after the initial scholarship period. The starting date is 1 April 2027 or by agreement.

Eligibility requires a doctoral degree or equivalent in mathematics, computer science, or a related area. Applicants should have strong expertise in combinatorial optimization and graph theory, good programming skills, the ability to work independently and collaboratively, and strong English communication skills.

The application must include a cover letter, research plan, CV with publication list, degree documentation, transcripts, thesis, up to three relevant publications, other supporting documents, and contact details for two referees. Applications must be submitted in English or Swedish through Umeå University’s Varbi system by 9 October 2026.

More information is available from the Discrete Mathematics group and the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at Umeå University.
